U.S., Israeli Holocaust Institutes Get Nazi Records from Germany
[Deutsche Welle-Germany] Custodians of a vast German archive dealing with Nazi concentration camps on Monday transferred copies of millions of files to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and the Yad Vashem Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, providing Holocaust survivors with a record of their persecution. The world's most extensive archive regarding Nazi concentration camps is managed by the International Tracing Service (ITS), an arm of the International Committee of the Red Cross. "These documents reflect the most despicable operations of the Nazi era," ITS director Reto Meister said Tuesday.
